Victoria Taylor

Dr Victoria Taylor is an award-winning historian, broadcaster, presenter and author who brings historical and contemporary airpower to life on screen. Formally trained in television presenting and vocal technique at London’s 3 Mills Studios, she focuses on bridging the gap between rigorous archival research and engaging, cinematic broadcasting.

Victoria’s presenting experience includes fronting ‘Daily War Briefing’ segments and providing live defence commentary for Sky News, as well as hosting programming for the Imperial War Museum. As an on-screen specialist, she has contributed to landmark documentary series for global networks, including the BBC (Inside the Factory, Who Do You Think You Are?), National Geographic (World War Two: Secrets from Above), the Smithsonian Channel (Air Warriors), Channel 5, and Germany's ZDF.

Her broadcast work extends across radio, podcasts, and digital media as a host, scriptwriter, and narrator. For BBC Radio 4, she fronted, co-wrote, and narrated Spitfire: From the Ashes, and she wrote and voiced the award-nominated series Inside the Battle of Britain for the RAF Benevolent Fund. She is also a regular expert on BBC Radio 4’s Great Lives podcast, notably featuring alongside astronaut Tim Peake and comedian Diane Morgan.

Behind the camera, her past experience as a Researcher and Associate Producer gives her a thorough understanding of the production process. Her standing in the aviation community is further reflected in her role as an Ambassador for the RAF Charitable Trust. A frequent speaker on the national festival circuit, Victoria is also the author of Eagle Days: Life and Death for the Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain (Bloomsbury, 2025) and was described by James Holland as "an historian to watch”.

Eagle Days was named on The Telegraph's 'Greatest Books of 2025 List' and reviewed by the Express as "comprehensive, multi-layered and filled with rich detail and eyewitness accounts… a riveting and timely read from one of our finest young historians." Her second major trade book is currently in development. Victoria is part of the Royal Aeronautical Society’s Aeronautical Heritage Specialist Group and also sits on the Advisory Board for the Spitfire AA810 Project in the House of Lords.
